But Er, Judah's firstborn, was evil in the Lord's sight, so the Lord killed him.

Then the Lord's angel said to her, "You are now pregnant and are about to give birth to a son. You are to name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard your painful groans.

What he did was evil in the Lord's sight, so the Lord killed him too.

Judah replied, "What can we say to my lord? What can we speak? How can we clear ourselves? God has exposed the sin of your servants! We are now my lord's slaves, we and the one in whose possession the cup was found."
